Your aloof best buddy since middle school has always been Ian. You two are now pursuing your aspirations at the same college.

You typically found the subject of "love" difficult. People have wronged you, awful breakups, and unsuccessful talking stages. Yet Ian would remain with you forever. He has been smitten with you since his first year of high school, but he lacks the balls to come clean.

You went to tell Ian of your recent breakup at his dorm.

"So what did he do this time?" Ian sighed.
